About self-driving cars: I can actually see where that would make a lot of sense. Upkeep would be insane on them if you were freelancing it, and imagine trying to take a self-driving car to your local mechanic who has been working on Fords and Chevys all his life. I would definitely want a subscription model if I had a self-driving car.
About RV crime: that is exactly why I would want to live out in the middle of nowhere, where nobody knows I am there, with a thick screen of trees between me and what passes for the road... Or in a densely populated neighborhood where there are always witnesses on the street. Given the chosen RV style of living, I'm thinking out in the boonies is more practical. Hard to get people to accept an RV lifestyle in their really tight, really crowded neighborhood.

I've heard several reports of people being killed in self-driving pilot programs, such as when a self-driving car failed to recognize a human driver motioning for it to go first at a 4-way stop, but these incidences aren't being given any press.
It makes me think of how not one, but two Boeing employees conveniently died -- "of natural causes" -- right before they were scheduled to testify against the company. Yeah, ok. I'm not smart enough to subscribe to most conspiracies, but any normal citizen knows corporations will go to any length -- especially murder -- to keep up a profit.
As for planting a permanent dwelling "where nobody knows where you are" -- maybe it's still possible in Tennessee, but I live in the Pacific Northwest. Out here, there is an ever-increasing numbers of unemployed, homeless, fentanyl-addicted people who are tirelessly looking for exactly those kinds of places -- and seeing as they have nothing but time on their hands, it won't be long before they find yours.
The added problem of living out in the middle of nowhere is that you might also be at a severe loss of getting any help in time.
I watched an RV'ing video last week hosted by a couple with years of experience in the community, and their warning of the week was to stay on guard if someone asks you if you've ever been in the military.
It was explained that these days, it's often not because they're trying to be friendly.
It's because they are gauging the likelihood that you'll have a gun somewhere on your premises -- and/or if you know how to use one.
